This is a road trip smack in the middle of nowhere, Maine, but there’s a reward at the end of the drive. The Cambridge General Store & Restaurant knows everyone is sick of March and is offering an Ice Cream Social with a “Make your own Sundae with toppings bar.”Only $3.50 each. Cones and milkshakes also available. Come relax, play some games if you like. Maybe watch some sports in their library room from 12 p.m. to 6 p.m. FMI: Make Your Own Sundae

Why not get your fix a week early at the most Irish pub in Bangor instead? It starts at 5 p.m. (And if you’re coming up for the Sea Dog event the same night, at least you can get a half hour in!)
